Chapter Seventy-Seven: Senior Ranger Jotun

In the territory of Wuling Fort, there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, the residents of the territory are worried all day long, the law in Wuling Fort has always been known for its strictness, and the death penalty is widely used, the crime rate here is very low, but there are many people who die in vain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Carmen Alicia and the others tried their best to walk through the night, taking advantage of the moonlight to avoid the patrolling soldiers, although it would delay some time, but it was better than being caught in the daylight, after all, they were very conspicuous, and it was impossible to get through the tricks.

On this day, before nightfall, Alicia and the others were stationed in a remote abandoned farm in the territory of Wuling Castle, guarded by Terry, and the others were resting, and they planned to continue their actions after nightfall.

Tully didn't know if he was too worried, he always felt that in recent days, there had been more and more soldiers patrolling the territory of Wuling Fort, and their patrol lines were very unreasonable.

"Little Ellie, we have to hurry up tonight and get through the sphere of influence of Wuling Castle, I always have a bad feeling. Tully shared her concerns with Alicia, who agreed.

After a long and dangerous day, the night finally came, and although the night did not bring a sense of security, at least they could take advantage of the night to act.

Alicia and the others set out from the abandoned farm, trying to get to the wasteland as much as possible, and after Terry and Miria, who were exploring the road ahead, discovered the village, Alicia ordered everyone to take a detour, and everyone chose a relatively stable route until the second half of the night.

Miria took advantage of her night vision to clearly see a lonely castle in the distance, and Tully analyzed that this should be a mercenary from Wuling Castle, who had just captured the fortress not long ago, so Tully ordered everyone to bypass the lonely fort as much as possible.

In the wilderness, Alicia and the others clearly saw a huge army coming out of the lonely fortress and heading north, led by a man riding a tall black horse, dressed in black armor, very majestic, his age was about thirty-five years old, less than forty years old.

"That man is probably Will Berg, lord of the Foggy Castle. Tully said to Alicia Vivi, who nodded, and they decided to go as far as possible from the valley west of the Lonely Castle, from where they could cross the area, and although there were many dangerous creatures in the valley, it was better than dealing with these regular armies.

Alicia and the others walked into the valley and stepped up their speed, there seemed to be no patrolling soldiers in the valley, but in such a valley, it is inevitable that there will be some ferocious wild animals or monsters, so Alicia and they never dared to take it lightly, if they did not meet Will Berg's regular army, it would obviously be better to cross from the vicinity of the lonely fort.

Crossing the valley made Tali feel very uneasy again, and he couldn't tell what kind of uneasiness it was, but he just felt that something was wrong.

"Strange...... Why is this valley so quiet?" Miria looked around as the others stopped, all looking astonished.

"Is it ......," Tully slapped his head suddenly, "his face filled with unease." ”

At this moment, Terry suddenly climbed to the ground and sniffed the ground with his peculiar sense of smell, and then Terry stood up, looked at the crowd, and said, "The smell of blood." ”

Miria bit her lip, she spread her wings lightly, and with a force under her feet, she flew up gently, she wanted to fly a little higher and see what was going on in this valley, the winged man has night vision, so Milia is confident that she can find some situations.

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

An arrow flew out and hit Miria's wings, Miria fell from the sky in pain, Joseph was quick-eyed, he jumped forward, and caught Miria steadily.

Alicia and the others immediately looked up and looked around, only to see that the valley was full of archers, riders, and warriors, and the lord of the Fog Castle, Will Berg, was standing in the crowd, and he looked at Alicia and the others coldly.

"What's going on? Lord Will Berg of Foggy Castle will personally come out to round up us little characters. Alicia smiled coldly and shouted.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Night is too humble, how can you be a small person. Will Berg's tone was cold, his voice was very deep, and he felt that the words spoken softly could resound through the valley.

Will Berg immediately revealed Alicia's identity, which really surprised Alicia and the others, and Tully clenched his fists, thinking to himself if he had missed something.

"Could it be that Lord Will Berg is also interested in annexing such a barren territory as the Free Frontier?" Alicia knew that it was useless to conceal it, so she simply asked Will Berg, which was tantamount to admitting her identity.

"The Queen of the Night was really beautiful in the Midtown Federation a while ago, and it must be exceptional to be appreciated by the Fonta family, but the queen of the Free Frontier appeared in the Midtown Federation, I think it will be really difficult for you to attack our free city-state region on both sides. Will Berg said coldly.

"You actually planted a spy in the Midtown Federation, and the Fonta family hasn't found out until now, I have to admit that you are very powerful. Tully exclaimed.

He guessed that it could only be so, the previous lords of the free city-states only cared about the current war and ignored the surrounding situation, but this Will Berg was able to plant spies in the Midtown Federation, this is definitely not a simple character, no wonder people say that only Will Berg has a chance to end the Hundred Years War.

"This is Master Tully of the Free Frontier, a high-ranking nobleman of the Babayaro family of the Midtown Federation, and the most promising person in the Midtown Federation, but unfortunately, you have calculated a lot, but you have ignored me. ”

Will Berg sneered, he had a lot of confidence in his own abilities, but he wasn't proud of it, he knew that self-confidence would make him go further, and pride might ruin everything.

"Yes, I ignored you, that's because you are not in my plan at all, we have no interest in the free city-states, and the purpose of our trip to the Midtown Federation is to free the border and the entire continent of Yarrow. Tully said coldly.

Tully did ignore Will Berg, who was just careful about the dangers of war, but he didn't expect Will Berg to find out their identities.

"You can't anger me with such words, I advise you to raise your hands and surrender, and stay in Wuling Fort as my hostage, it is better than just dying here. Will Berg sneered again.

His purpose is very clear, that is, to capture Alicia and the others, he is afraid that the Free Frontier will attack this free city-state with the Midtown Federation, he is confident that the Hundred Years War will end, but to face the Midtown Federation, he also needs more powerful forces, if he captures the Queen of the Night of the Free Border, then he has the opportunity to let the power of the Free Border be included in his range.

"I can't imagine that there will be people who will think about our poor, dilapidated place. Alicia also smiled coldly.

"I'm well aware that the Free Frontier is getting more and more on track, and I have to praise you for it, the Queen of the Night, and Maester Tully, so if I manage it, it will get better and better. Will Berg was very patient, and although his tone was cold, he would not refuse to speak to Alicia.

"Although you are a great lord, Lord Will, I don't think the inhabitants of the Free Frontier are accustomed to harsh laws, so I can only refuse your kindness. ”

With that, Alicia looked back at her companions, each with a gritty look on their faces, they knew what was going to happen next, but they were willing to live and die with Carmen Alicia, their Queen of the Night.

"That's a pity, strict laws are the real stop to crime, but you don't have the opportunity to witness the perfect society I have built. Will Berg shook his head slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that the archers in the valley had all set up their bows and arrows.

Alicia and the others each took out their weapons, and on the valley, thousands of arrows began to be fired, Alicia and Misty took out the spell book and quickly launched a long-range defense field, but both of her knew that such a long-range defense force field could not withstand the bow and arrow for a long time, and the opponent had too many archers, and it would not take long for the long-range defense field launched by the two mages to be shot through, and then they would be shot into hedgehogs.

"Rush out of the valley!" Tully roared, and the crowd shouted in response, as they began to rush towards the end of the valley, and Will Berg above the valley only smiled coldly.

In the process of Alicia and the others charging, another group of centaurs appeared at the end of the valley, led by one person, who was the mercenary leader named Henry that Alicia and the others had seen before, this team of centaurs was his mercenary team, and Will Berg had already sent them to guard here.

"Kill the people of the Free Frontiers!Lord Will will give you a lot of rewards!" shouted a woman who was known to Alicia and the others as Thora, a cruel mercenary.

The mercenaries echoed Sora's shouts loudly, and they began to charge towards Alicia and the others, who were gritting their teeth, and at this time, they must not retreat.

"Aha! There are a few pretty girls over there! I'll catch them alive! I'm going to enjoy them!" the lewd Frankie sneered, and there were many mercenaries who echoed Frankie's words, and such guys were even more disgusting to Alicia and the others.

There was a fierce collision between the two sides, due to the number of mercenaries, Alicia and the others did not dare to fight, they tried their best to cut down the mercenaries around them, and tried their best to rush through the crowd.

Tully, Milia, Jotun, Joseph, Terry, and Spencer Jessica are so powerful, the mercenaries are numerous, but they can't help them for a while, while Alicia and Misty are surrounded by their own companions, who use her elemental staff to shoot fire arrows to help her companions attack the surrounding mercenaries.

Mercenary leader Henry knew that this group of people was not trivial, he raised his two-handed battle axe, and rushed towards Alicia, as an experienced mercenary, he knew who to deal with first, but Tully had already noticed him, before he rushed to Alicia, Tully took the lead in blocking Henry, the two exchanged a few moves, Henry knew Tully's strength, so he retreated to the side, he did not have a full surroundment, and he fought to the death with Tully, such as relying on his numerical advantage, slowly surrounded Alicia and others.

At this time, Alicia and the others were already covered in injuries, but they were still fighting stubbornly, Jotun saw the opportunity, he took advantage of his short stature, quickly passed through the crowd, and rushed towards Henry, because Jotun's speed was too fast, and he was short He did not attract Henry's attention, so that Jotun caught Henry off guard.

The two had not exchanged a few moves, and Jotun had already jumped on Henry's back and held Henry's throat with his short sword, Henry did not expect that he would lose to a cat spirit, he was angry and annoyed, but helpless.

"Stop me, mercenaries, your boss's life is in my hands!" Jotun shouted, and the other mercenaries really stopped attacking with uneasy faces, Jotun's opportunity was very timely, because Alicia and the others were obviously about to lose their support.

"Get out of the way! let's get over!" Jotun continued to shout to the mercenaries, who looked at each other with a little unsure of what to do.

Jordan sneered, and he slashed his dagger at Henry's neck, and Henry's neck immediately bled out.

"Get out of the way! don't let Leader Henry get hurt!" the woman named Sora shouted, and the mercenaries retreated.

Alicia and the others were overjoyed, it seemed that they had been given a chance to escape, and Joseph knew that Jotun could not coerce Henry forward due to his size, so he walked to Jotun, hoping to help him control Henry so that everyone could escape together.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Suddenly, Will Berg, who was standing on the top of the valley, suddenly shouted, and many arrows shot down from the valley, these arrows did not shoot at the mercenaries, but shot at Alicia and the others, Alicia and the others were immediately frightened, and they knew at this time that even if they controlled the mercenaries, they could not stop Will Berg's determination to eradicate them.

With this attack, the long-range defensive force field launched by Alicia and Misty has also been broken, after all, in the fierce battle with the mercenaries just now, too much strength has been consumed, the arrow is fired, Misty's calf is pierced by an arrow, and she falls to the ground, Tully hurriedly goes to support Misty, Misty is very weak, and Tully carries her on her shoulder.

"Little Ellie, run!" Jotun shouted at Alicia's side.

"But...... Jotun, you ......" Alicia looked at her senior ranger with a pained face, and Jotun only smiled.

Tali knew that there was no other way at this time, he made a look at Miria, although Miria also had a painful expression, but she still walked to Alicia's side and pulled Alicia who tried her best to resist away......

Alicia was pulled by Milia, Tully was carrying Misty, and Jessica, Joseph, and Terry were in charge of the temple, and they gave Jotun another painful look and ran towards the end of the valley.

"Meow! goodbye...... My fellows......"

Jotun looked at the departing Alicia and the others, he was relaxed at this time, Alicia and the others were rescued because of him, and he was a real senior ranger, he was Jotun, Alicia's most loyal friend.
